MM, sub, and ret all nerfed in patch

I guess we’ll see how much difference it makes

  • Hunter

    • (With realm restarts) Aimed Shot no longer deals 10% increased damage in PvP situations.

    • (With realm restarts) Double Tap’s extra Aimed Shot deals 50% reduced damage in PvP situations.

  • Paladin

    • (With realm restarts) Ringing Clarity (Kyrian) can now trigger up to 2 multi-casts in PvP situations (was 3).

    • (With realm restarts) Judgment (Kyrian) cast from Divine Toll deals 75% increased damage in PvP situations (was 100%).

    • (With realm restarts) Final Reckoning increases the damage of Holy Power abilities by 30% in PvP situations (was 50%).

  • Rogue

    • (With realm restarts) Reverberation’s (Kyrian) increase to Echoing Reprimand (Kyrian) damage has been reduced by 30% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

MM hunters will still be flatlining people, rogues will still be laughing over corpses 2 seconds after cheapshotting him alive. Ret paladins will still be good but not 1 shotting. :kissing_heart: :kissing_heart: :kissing_heart:

Surprised that they didn’t put a level restriction on bfa trinkets tbh.

They didn’t nerf sub. They nerfed all Kyrian rogues.

But I guess outlaw and assassination are pathetic enough in pvp that it doesn’t matter.

Nerfing Final Reckoning makes zero sense… WTF Blizzard? (why can’t Ret ever be good in rated Arena play? Like, seriously?)

L OL

Rogues definitely need a nerf. A rogue should NEVER two shot a warrior.

I mean do you watch Savix? You don’t need to 1 shot 2 shot people to be good that’s just leaning on BS to say your good, good nerf, fair nerf, don’t complain.

Aimed Shot dealt 10% increased damage in PvP before this? I wasn’t aware of that.

It doesn’t look like the Double Tap change affects Rapid Fire, so while it doesn’t have the same immediate impact as DT+AS and won’t benefit from Careful Aim, DT+Rapid Fire will probably still be a strong opener from camo. The total “cast time” is 20% shorter than AS and allows movement. This could be a lot worse.

Hopefully they are going for smaller changes more often, because I don’t think that Rogue nerf is going to cut it.

Assassination is still a tier. It’s just sub is S+++ tier and makes it look significantly worse than what it is.

Sounds like decent changes to me, was topping the score board on my fresh 60 MM Hunter last night.

I’m happy that the Paladin changes are PvP only, one or two people on the Paladin forums were trying to say they were going to nurf it in PvE and for all specs for some reason. I think they sound fine on paper, hope it’s still the best PvP choice or that would make me a little salty. FR needed it in my opinion and the DT change was how I expected them to deal with that situation.

IDK that much about the Rogue situation but it sounds a little harsh for Outlaw and Sin but I guess it makes sense they hit the ability itself, those specs could use buffs themselves if they are too behind.

I think a few other specs could be looked at but it’s a good start for the season.

ya sorry, i mean as ele with resto gear.

Rapid fire is not hitting as hard as it was in BFA with Azerite that buffed it, maybe the legendary that buffs it will help. If they open with Rapid fire like that it’s going to really hurt them with focus, it’s already an issue for MM.

The nurf to double tap and 10% of AS damage should be plenty.

Doing what … I can’t even do that in Ele spec. And there is no one shot Ele build after they nerfed the Echo , SK, SoP interaction .

My lock has 25k health and I lose half of it to a single rapid fire.
